I like the word spiritual a lot, and I'll admit that I use it frequently. I think it falls outside the dichotomy of religious versus atheistic, as religious people subscribe to certain religious ideologies (e.g., Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc.) and atheists do not. I think you can be religious or an atheist and still be spiritual or not spiritual. Or agnostic and spiritual, or agnostic and not spiritual.

What I'm getting at is that spirituality and religion are two separate things in my view. There are plenty of people who are spiritual through their religion, but there are also those who simply follow the moral guidelines of their religion without necessarily believing in the more metaphysical aspects of it.

I consider myself nonreligious and spiritual. I do not subscribe to any religious system, label, or code, nor do I like being labeled an agnostic. I cannot believe any one way or the other with that as it would preclude believing in something else that I simply cannot know about, so that's how I am with religion. However I do like to think that things go a lot deeper than we consider everyday in a spiritual/consciousness sense, and I do also enjoy thinking that there are some kind of larger powers or realms with which humans generally have a difficult time interacting. This non-reductionist view is what makes me spiritual, in my opinion.

It's considering "the more" rather than just "the surface."
